I finally found a way to (a) shrink the title box, (b) overlap the composer box, (c) reduce the space between staves, and (d) expand the music frame. The parts look as intended, with enough systems on a single page. I would like to save this formatting as a general template (or at least an importable style). All assistance greatly appreciated.
Hey Daniel, Here is a new wrinkle on the same issue, and I have a related topic, but no answers there yet. As far as I know, I have only created Project Templates, but in those Project Templates I have already set up a page layout (location and size of title frames, music frames, etc.) which now seems to carry through as intended. However, I have my template Project settings with 8.5” x 11” Paper (North American Letter size), but invariably when I go to export the page to PDF, page size is shown as A4 (European). I open Layout window, choose paper size as Letter, Apply, Save as default. Close, but the paper size in Print window still shows as A4, but appears to display Letter aspect ratio. I must be doing something wrong. I only use Letter paper (except for symphonic scores), so how do I get all Part paper sizes to default to Letter and save that as part of my Project Template?
Please don’t double post.
When you export to PDF, Dorico always uses the page size defined in Layout Options. You’ll notice that the page size selector is disabled when you’re exporting to PDF. (I agree that the UI could be clearer here.)
